LETTER: National illness with no cure in sight

Our country is being eaten and digested from the inside out, very much as an aggressive form of cancer decimates the human body.

The attacks against us come in numerous forms, on many fronts, and all at once. They have been so strong and so many that we have started to accept the results as unavoidable. We’ve shown our willingness to give in to the assaults and have our nation die a terrible death.

Just to name the position of a few of the attacks, not necessarily in order of significance, I will list them here as follows:

1. Our economy due to government spending more than income.

2. Our religious rights by our government and special interest groups.

3. Our morality by deviant groups and immoral government representatives.

4. Our second amendment rights by individual groups and liberal government officials.

5. Our justice system by the people appointed by our President.

6. Our entire system of government by our President and liberal Senate.

7. Our constitution and bill of rights, some of which are already listed.

8. Our national defense.

The damage has been so bad that efforts from the individuals we’ve placed in positions of trust appear to be too few, too weak and too late.

Unlike other nations in turmoil, the citizens of the U.S. have no other country to look to for assistance. We’re still looked upon, however brief it may be, as a strong nation in a strong republic and for monetary assistance by other countries in civil conflicts.

The only hope then for a cure, aside from intervention by God, is to raise our voices in unison, so loud and so strong that the world will hear the resistance. We can’t do that one person at a time. All the Rand Pauls, the Ben Carsons, the Huckabees and Rush Limbaughs in the country are not enough.

Someone or something has to bring those persons together, along with the conservative masses in order to create enough noise. Those we currently look to for direction should ban together in order to create more strength. It’s obvious that the liberal Democrats have figured out how to get 47 percent of the voters through government programs. The rest of us, Republicans, Tea Party members, Independents, Conservatives, true Christians, Jews and supporters of our Constitution have to come up with a group platform we can all support for the remaining 53 percent. The platform needs to be brief and simply worded so that the average high school student can understand.

An example might be:

1. A balanced budget. Stop funding all items not immediately essential to the masses of the U.S.

2. At home priorities-stop all monies going to foreign governments except those necessary to protect our most allegiant allies.

3. Defend our Constitution and Bill of Rights and clarify the language so it cannot be challenged in courts.

4. Strengthen our national defense.

5. Disallow lobbying by special interest groups.

6. Change congressional, justices and presidential pay so it cannot be raised until it is more in line with public jobs and then only by cost of living increases.

7. Disallow piggy backing of legislation.

Conservative citizens are supposedly the wealthiest people in the U.S. Although I am not one of the wealthy, I have to assume that many of our job creators and business owners are. Why then, should we not be able to get those with the ability to reach the masses and those with the money to finance the political fight to reclaim our country?

The damage being done to us from our own government is far worse than any physical attack from terrorist groups. Sure, terrorists can kill large numbers of people, but the internal cancer we have will destroy the entire nation if it is left to grow.

We all know what things need to be changed and we know that change is needed now. What we don’t know is how to make the changes.
